I have been trying out different recipes for reduced-fat cream cheese frosting and this is the recipe that I like the most, it is the perfect combination of creamy and sweet. I have tried the recipe below using only Splenda, however, I think it tastes better using the confectioners sugar, but that is completely up to you. This recipe is enough to frost 2 dozen cupcakes, or 2 9 inch cakes, or 1 9×13 inch cake.
Skinny Mom Tip: To make Splenda “powdered sugar”, mix 3/4 cup Splenda with 2 tbsp of cornstarch in a blender until mixture forms a powdered sugar consistency. If you do not wish to use Splenda, simply replace Splenda with an extra 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce package of 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup Splenda "powdered sugar"
Instructions
- Beat together cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, and Splenda "powdered sugar" until smooth.
















Just made to put on top of the Skinny Strawberry Cake for my mother-in-law’s birthday!!! It’s soooo good. I did replace the Splenda with an additional 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
YUMMY!!!
